Basics of maintenance and care of foldable SLCs
Regular maintenance and care are essential to ensure the functionality and longevity of foldable small load carriers.
Various factors play a decisive role:
1. cleaning
Thorough cleaning is the first step to well-maintained foldable small load carriers.
Different materials may require specific cleaning methods:
- Foldable plastic containers: Mild soap solution and water, with disinfectant if required
- Foldable metal containers: special cleaning agents to prevent corrosion
- Foldable wooden containers: dry cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth if heavily soiled
Our different types of material for foldable SLC require specific care in order to maintain their properties optimally.
2nd inspection
Regular visual inspections help to detect and repair damage at an early stage.
Pay particular attention to:
- Cracks or breaks in the material, especially at folding points
- Wear on joints, hinges and folding mechanisms
- Deformations that could impair stackability or foldability
- Damage to RFID tags or barcode labels
3. repair and replacement
Minor damage can often be repaired professionally.
In the event of significant damage or wear, particularly to the folding mechanism, the load carrier should be considered for replacement.
